Mr. Dave Walsh:

There were no substantive changes to some of the larger projects and we are not proposing any changes. Obviously, none of them have come into effect because we have not finalised the engagement with the Department yet. There were no changes proposed relating to third party fees and first party appeals. Some small tweaks were proposed in the context of trying to ensure alignment between the various types, particularly with regard to first party appeals for Natura impact statements or where environmental impact assessment reports, EIARs, are required, and in dealing with issues relating to retention. There were also a number of fees for new functions, for example, the Dublin Airport noise function which came into effect in 2020. We had to set fees. However, these are all provisional. They have not come into effect pending further discussions and the approval of the Minister.
